Sezen Aksu

Biography
Sezen Aksu (originally from Rize, Pazar) was born in Sarayköy, Turkey. Her family moved to İzmir when she was 3 years old and she spent her childhood and early youth there. After finishing high school, she began studying at the local agricultural institute, but left college to concentrate on music.
Along with her close friend Ajda Pekkan, Aksu is credited with laying the foundations of Turkish pop music in the 1970s.[4] Her sound has also spread across the Balkans and Greece.[5] It was this sound that changed the face of the Eurovision song contest when her protegé Sertab Erener won in 2003. Aksu has also toured in Europe and the U.S to critical appraise.[6]
She has championed a variety of causes, including women's rights, the environment, and educational reform in Turkey.[2] Aksu has been married and divorced four times, but kept the name from her second marriage to Ali Engin Aksu, a doctor of geology who currently resides in Canada. She has a son with Sinan Özer.

Career
Sezen Aksu released her first single, Haydi Şansım/Gel Bana (Come on My Luck/Come to Me) in 1975 under the name of Sezen Seley. However, she remained undiscovered until her 1976 single Olmaz Olsun/Vurdumduymaz (Wish It Never Happened/Insensitive) reached number one in the Turkish charts. Her first album was 1978's Serçe (Sparrow), which was to give her the nickname, penned by a Turkish journalist.
An Aksu drive finally got Turkey to apply for the Eurovision Song contest in the mid-70s. Ironically however, even though she competed in the national finals for the competition three times - "Küçük Bir Aşk Masalı" (A Little Love Tale) was a duet with Özdemir Erdoğan, "Heyamola" was performed as a trio with Coşkun Demir and Ali Kocatepe and "1945" was her solo performance - none got the chance to represent Turkey abroad. It was to be left to her pupil Erener to win the Eurovision and realise Aksu's dream to push her musical vision further into Europe.
In the 80's, Aksu had a relationship with producer Onno Tunç that was both romantic and professional. The couple put their signatures to works that broke new ground in Turkish pop music, such as Sen Ağlama (Don't Cry), Git (Go), Sezen Aksu'88 and Sezen Aksu Söylüyor (Sezen Aksu Sings). Her music matured in the 90's, when she co-produced her best selling album to-date Gülümse (Smile) with Tunç. The A-1 track from the album called Hadi Bakalım (Come On Now) was a hit in Turkey and Europe, and was published as a single in Germany. It was to be later rediscovered in Europop by singer Loona as Rhythm of the Night. She also began to produce albums for her vocalists, notably producing Aşkın Nur Yengi's debut album Sevgiliye (To a Lover) again with Tunç. She was to repeat this successfully with artists Erener and Yüksel.
Parting ways with Tunç, in 1995, Aksu branched out with the experimental album Işık Doğudan Yükselir (Light Rises From the East), drawing both on western classical and regional Turkish musical traditions. This album made her name outside Turkey and gave her a world music following across Europe. In 1996, she released Düş Bahçeleri (Dream Gardens) as a tribute to Tunç, who died that same year tragically when his private plane crashed. In 1997, she released Düğün ve Cenaze (The Wedding And The Funeral), this time collaborating with Goran Bregović.
She returned to her roots with Adı Bende Saklı (Its Name Is Hidden In Me), which was released in 1998. She began to use experimental sounds and was once again pushing Turkish pop into the future. Aksu continued with this trend with her subsequent albums Deliveren (Crazymaker), Şarkı Söylemek Lazım (Gotta Sing) which also featured former Sparks bassist Martin Gordon as engineer/mixer (and also as bass player on her subsequent European tour), Yaz Bitmeden (Before The Summer Ends) between the years 2000 - 2003. After a two year hiatus, she returned with Bahane (Excuse) in 2005. That same year she released Kardelen (Snowdrop) where all proceeds went to charity, and before the end of 2005 released a Bahane/Remixes (Excuse/Remixes) double-CD album which contained the original Bahane album in disc one and the remixes of songs in Bahane in disc two. At the end of the year her albums Bahane, Kardelen and the re-released album Şarkı Söylemek Lazım were the three best-selling albums in the country.
In 2005 she was featured in Fatih Akin's documentary film "Crossing the Bridge: The Sound of Istanbul" with a performance of the song "Istanbul Hatirasi."
Aksu has recently been re-releasing all her old classics digitally remastered and with specially designed new sleeves. After her concert tour in summer 2006.
Sezen Aksu performed at the Royal Albert Hall in London, on 7 October 2007. After Zeki Muren, she was only the second Turkish artist to perform at the prestigious venue.
In 2008 Aksu released her latest album called Deniz Yıldızı through Starfish Records

Sezen Aksu wurde 13.07.1954 in Izmir geboren. Sie hat Ihre Landwirtschaftsstudium Anfang der 70´er Jahre abgebrochen und begann professionell zu singen. Mitte 70´er wurde sie mit unteranderem 'Kaybolan Yillar'( verlorene Jahre), ' Gölge Etme ' (Mach kein Schatten) berühmt geworden. Ihre Songs komponiert sie selbst. Erstmals um 1978 hat sie Schauspielen probiert. -' Minik Serce ' (der kleine Spatz) So wird sie genannt- überzeugte mit ihre schauspielerisches können. Das Musikel 'Bin Yil Önce Bin Yil Sonra' (Tausend Jahre Früher Tausend Jahre Später) -von ihr gesungene Songs ' Sen Aglama' (weine nicht), ' Geri Dön' (kehre zurück), 'Daglar Daglar' ( Berge Berge )- machte sie populär. Später hat sie mit ihr Album ' Git ' (Gehe!) Rekord gebrochen und wurde Nr. 1 des türkischen Pop-Musik. Die beste Stimme der türkischen Pop-Musik hat unteranderem Askin Nur Yengi, Sertab Erener, Levent Yüksel, Yildiz Tilbe ( sie alle waren einst Vokalisten) berühmt gemacht. Sie hat dreimal geheiratet und hat ein Kind...

Sie ist eine der auch über ihr Land hinaus bekannten türkischen Sängerinnen und als solche auch von hervorstechender Eigenwilligkeit: nicht mehr in den Twenjahren und sehr selbstbestimmt produzierend seit sie ihren Weg vom Schlagerpop in experimentellere Formen genommen hat.
Musikalisch durchläuft Aksu auf ihrem Album "Isik Dogudan Yükselir" (Foneks) ziemliche Welten: Vom aus traditionellen Rythmen und Zurna (Oboe) gebauten wunderbar groovigen Pophit des letzten Jahres "Onu Alma Beni Al" ("Nimm nicht sie sondern mich!") und fast a capella gesungenen, nur mit Geige, Trommel und Klatschen angerissenen traditionellen Liedern über zarttraurige Balladen (z.B. das Klagelied "Var Git Turnam") bis hin zu bisweilen bombastischem Orchestraleklektizimus. Es spricht für sie, daß man sich das genau so alles gut anhören kann, einzig die Dynamik der Liedreihenfolgen setzt einen ziemlichen Wechselbädern aus. Leid- und freudetechnisch wäre eine schwere und eine leichte Sektion leichter konsumierbar gewesen, aber vielleicht soll ja genau das nicht sein.

13 Temmuz 1954'de İzmir'de doğdu.

Sonraki 'Git' kasetiyle zirvedeki yerini aldı. Türk pop muziğinin en güçlü seslerinden Sezen Aksu, Aşkın Nur Yengi, Sertab Erener, Levent Yüksel, Tilbe gibi bir zamanlar vokalistliğini yapmış gençleri pop muziğimize kazandırdı. Üç kez evlendi ve bir çocuk annesi...
